Questions
What is the Wireshark Integration Toolkit MCP server?
Wireshark Packet Analyzer with MCP Integration This project integrates the MCP (Message Communication Protocol) server with Wireshark to analyze and interact with network packets. The tool enables packet capture, analysis, and management using MCP while leveraging Wireshark's Lua scripting capabili
What tools does Wireshark Integration Toolkit expose?
4 in total: 3 read-only, 0 that write, and 1 that can delete or overwrite (clear_packet_file). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Wireshark Integration Toolkit safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
What credentials does Wireshark Integration Toolkit need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Wireshark Integration Toolkit run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e5dad5a9a33c), read on 2026-10-09. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
